Title: How Many Pot Calls Do You Own?
Post by: Footballer on March 12, 2014, 09:00:23 PM
I'm curious how many are addicted to buying different pot calls like I am. So, how many do you have?

Here's one of them.

Wow, I've got an aluminum , ceramic, crystal and slate. With about 10 different strikers. If I had than many I'd get confused on which ones I'd take hunting. Lol

Frank,

I normally carry three pot calls and maybe 5 strikers when I hunt. Most of the time they are the same three calls. I am old and set in my ways.

I usually have none lol I start the season with two or three in my bag but after getting back from a camp or a hunt there usually sold. So I have to build or find me another.. I did have one that for some reason I had gotten attached to came home and my wife informed me she sold it! She let a customer play it in my office while I was gone and he wanted it so I guess I aint married to none of them, rather see a customer happy anyway!! I do have two hid in my truck from her at the moment she don't know I have! Shhhhhh

That's pretty neat! Who made that call and what surface does it have?

If I post a picture of a turkey call.....I made it.

African Blackwood...slate with Ivory peg.

Leather is from an African antelope that I can't recall the name of.....the stitching I did out of tanned buck skin with a deer horn tip for a clasp.

Those are beautiful, Frank.  It's easy to see why your work is in such high demand.

Is the Blackwood a 3" pot? Looks compact but I bet it is deadly!

Keep collecting and keep the market going.  These call makers just keep upping the ante making hard not to buy more...

Most all the big collectors are gone....myself I think people would be better off collecting marbles.
